Tax results - WHAT YOU'RE SAYING: April 16

How did your state taxes end up? Higher than before? How will Rick Snyder do when it comes time for a reelection bid? We asked Facebook users for their input:

My state taxes went up significantly for 2012, and they are projected to increase enough for 2013 that I have to make estimated state income tax payments and/or adjust my state withholdings. Yes, I hold Snyder accountable for this. No, I haven't seen where this is helping create jobs, or improving education or the roads.

I wouldnt mind higher taxes if I saw the benefit. There aren't more good-paying jobs, the roads are worse, the schools are worse off and the Right-to-Work legislation is ludicrous. Instead of bringing everyone up to a decent middle class income he wants to bring everyone in the middle down to a lower middle class income.

Higher. What else is new? The elimination of tax credits to public radio/TV, state universities and community food banks really hurt generous contributors.

--Joan G. Berndt

My taxes went up more than I figured they would. I am retired living on a fixed income and with him eliminating our tax credits I am starting to eat food I never though I would. As far as reelection, he has killed it for any Republican or Independent or Tea Party or anything other than a Democrat to get in.

We were hurt this year because of the new rules on the homestead property tax credit.

He should win in a landslide he's the first gov in more than a decade to actually do something good for Michigan
